Asian Academic Accounting Association
Founded in 1998, the Asian Academic Accounting Association was formed after organizational meetings in Hong Kong and Maui that were attended by academic leaders from several Asian countries. The AAAA's objective is to enhance the quality of accounting education and research in Asia and to foster interaction and fellowship among accounting academics and with accounting professionals, policy makers and regulators.
